(b) A new loading facility located in any area not listed in table 61 that delivers
gasoline to a gasoline-dispensing facility subject to the provi-sions of R
336.1606(3) and (4) or R 336.1703(2) and (3).
(c) An existing loading facility subject to the provisions of R 336.1607(3) and
(4).The vapor balance system shall capture displaced gasoline vapor and air via a
vaportight collection line and shall be designed to return not less than 90% by weight of
the displaced gasoline vapor from the stationary vessel to the delivery vessel.
(3) Any stationary vessel subject to subrule (2) of this rule shall be equipped,
maintained, or controlled with all of the following:
(a) An interlocking system or procedure to ensure that the vaportight collection
line is connected before any gasoline can be loaded.
(b) A device to ensure that the vaportight collection line shall close upon
disconnection so as to prevent release of gasoline vapor.
(c) Pressure-vacuum relief valves on aboveground stationary vessels that have a
minimum pressure valve setting of 8 ounces, if such setting does not exceed the
container's maximum pressure rating.
(4) Any delivery vessel subject to subrule (2) of this rule shall be vaportight.
(5) A person responsible for the operation of all control measures required by this
rule shall develop written procedures for the operation of all control measures
specified in subrule (3) of this rule, and the procedures shall be posted in an accessible,
conspicuous location near the stationary vessel.
(6) A new stationary vessel at a gasoline loading facility that is not subject to the
provisions of subrules (2) and (3) of this rule shall be constructed in a manner that
allows the vessel to be retrofitted according to subrules (2) and (3) of this rule.

R 336.1705
Loading gasoline into delivery vessels at new loading facilities
handling less than 5,000,000 gallons per year.
Rule 705. (1) It is unlawful for a person to load, or allow the loading of, gasoline
from a stationary vessel into any delivery vessel at a new loading facility that has a
throughput of less than 5,000,000 gallons per year, unless the delivery vessel is filled
by a submerged fill pipe.
(2) It is unlawful for a person to load, or allow the loading of, gasoline from a
stationary vessel into any delivery vessel located at either of the following loading
facilities that has a throughput of less than 5,000,000 gallons per year, unless the
delivery vessel is controlled by a vapor balance system or an equivalent control system
approved by the department:
(a) A new loading facility located in any area listed in table 61.
(b) A new loading facility located in any area which is not listed in table 61 that
delivers gasoline to a gasoline-dispensing facility subject to R 336.1606 (3) and (4) or
R 336.1703(2) and (3).The vapor balance system shall capture displaced gasoline vapor
and air by means of a vaportight collection line and shall be designed to return not
less than 90%, by weight, of the displaced gasoline vapor from the delivery vessel to the
stationary vessel.
